Lexus are to reveal their new GS F Sport on 1st November at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.

Available in the UK from next year, the new GS sports new front bumpers and larger side grilles along with a new mesh design on the upper and lower grilles. A new rear spoiler and 19" dark metallic alloy wheels complete the look, while new tyres should help keep the GS F Sport planted on the road.

On the inside, new sport seats are upholstered in new red upholstery. A leather steering wheel and gear knob, with aluminium trim and aluminium pedals also help make the interior of the GS F Sport an inviting place to sit.

New suspension and shock absorbers on both the front and rear axles should improve the GS' handling and minimise body roll and Lexus' new Dynamic Handling System makes the GS F the first hybrid ever made to feature four-wheel-steering. The Dynamic Handling System uses computer wizardry to calculate the precise amount of rear wheel steering needed in any given scenario. At most speeds under 50mph, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front ones, increasing agility. Above 50mph they mostly turn in the same direction, improving the stability of the ride.

There is no word from Lexus yet on prices.
